Farmer of Shu Han

Zhang He clenched his fists heavily, "Your Majesty, I'm going to order some troops and set off immediately."

"The general came here day and night, rested for half the night, and set off again tomorrow morning. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the army to march at night."

Cao Rui comforted him.

"Your Majesty, soldiers are extremely fast. Longyou is at stake. If you lose at any time, how can you delay for a moment? Emperor Wu's tiger and leopard cavalry can travel three hundred miles day and night, and they can still defeat the enemy. Now the tiger and leopard cavalry are incorporated into the central army. There are still a lot of veterans back then."

"Now that the country is in danger, it is time to use the strengths of these elites. Although a certain person is not talented, he is still willing to lead the Jingqi of the Great Wei, and then destroy the bandits. Let them know that the old Changban elites are still there, and they dare not come easily again. .”

"Okay, okay! Old General Zhang, you are really loyal to the country, and the safety of the country is all entrusted to you."

Cao Rui was moved.

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked back to the case, picked up the tiger talisman box, and held it to Zhang Yun with both hands, "This is the tiger talisman of the Chinese army. It can command the whole army. Now hand it over to the general. I hope the general will defeat the bandits and return in triumph."

"The minister will live up to His Majesty's expectations!"

Zhang He bowed his head, took the tiger talisman with both hands, and strode out.

It was night, Luoyang City was full of people and horses, and most of the officials and people did not sleep peacefully. They only heard people screaming and horses neighing, and hoofs sounded like thunder, and they rumbled away to the west.

If you want to enter Longyou from Hanzhong, Qishan City is the first gate.

Now that the gate is broken, the Han army can pour into Tianshui from this gate without any scruples.

For a moment, the officials and people in Guanzhong and Longyou panicked.

Not only Nan'an, but the prefect of Tianshui Second County abandoned the city and fled eastward, and even the prefect of Anding County in Longzuo also ran south.

Some people from these three counties sent envoys to the south to express their intention to return to Han.

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty had just left Qishan, and he received the response from the three counties. It was unexpected, but at the same time, he was overjoyed. He immediately smiled at Tianchang, "People's hearts are for Han, and people's hearts are for Han!"

So Wei Yan was sent to continue to lead the army westward through Nan'an County, gather the counties along the way, and at the same time deter Longxi County and make it surrender.

If Qishan is the outer gate to Longyou, then the Xixian County, which is oncoming from Qishan, is the inner gate to prevent the Han army from continuing to go north.

At the same time, on the northeast and northwest behind Xixian, there are Shangyu and Jixian respectively. These three places constitute a solid triangular defense system.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang personally led the army to attack Xixian County, and at the same time sent Wu Yi to attack Shangyu. Guan Xing and Zhang Bao led the Han Dynasty's only 2,000 cavalry and headed northwest all the way to conquer the counties of Nan'an.

To the northwest of Nan'an is Jincheng County in Liangzhou. In order to prevent Liangzhou's Cao Wei army from responding to Guanzhong from the west and attacking the Han army, it is best to take Yuzhong, the prefecture of Jincheng County.

If you can't take it, you must make preparations in the north of Nan'an.

As for Feng Yong...he continued to follow the Chinese army, and his troops continued to help maintain the food roads. To put it bluntly, they were the logistics troops.

When everyone got the order, they all dispersed with joy, only Feng Yong, with a dark face, lingeringly refused to leave.

"What else do you need?"

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty had noticed that Feng Yong's face was not right, and he asked after everyone had left.

Feng Yong looked outside, there was indeed no one there, so he stepped forward, leaned over and said in a low voice, "Longkou, Prime Minister, Longdi!"

Zhuge Liang asked inexplicably, "What Longkou and Longdi?"

Feng Yong was in a hurry, and he thought, Prime Minister, you have forgotten that Nanzhongwei County loved you so much back then...

Ah bah, no, it's a clever talk...

Ah bah, that's not right, it's the eloquent Feng Mingwen?

"Prime Minister, if you want to defend Longyou, you must not lose the passes of Longshan. Now that you have dispersed all the troops and collected them from various places, why don't you send troops to the pass of Longshan?"

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty was in a good mood when he learned that Longyou's heart was for the Han Dynasty, and he knew what he meant when he heard the words.

So he patiently explained to Feng Yong, "Thieves Cao are still sticking to Xixian County, there is Shangyu in the northeast, and Jixian County in the northwest. These three places are important places in Longyou. Longyou stands firm?"

Feng Yong let out a "tsk" when he heard this, and said in his heart that Xu Miao from Liangzhou and Zhang He from the east had already called before you could gain a firm footing!

"Prime Minister, there are four gates in Longshan. The two in the north are ignored, but the two in the south, we can take them down first while the thief Cao is in a panic!"

"Heaven and God will be blamed instead; if the time doesn't work, you will suffer. For example, if the big man is given the land of Longyou today, the prime minister will not send troops to guard the pass of Longshan to prevent Cao thieves. If they rush through the pass, today's I am afraid that the good situation will be ruined overnight."

Zhuge Liang listened, but he didn't care about it. Instead, he criticized, "Reading is not easy to read. This is called God and God, and you will be blamed; if the time is not good, you will be blamed. Change the sentence in the book randomly, What does it look like?"

What do you care what I look like?

Seeing Zhuge Liang's appearance, Feng Yong's heart was on fire, and he said anxiously, "No matter what it looks like, why doesn't the prime minister listen to Jin Yong's words?"

"If the pass can be guarded well, this Longyou will be owned by the big man for at least a month or at most three months. If Cao thief is allowed to go to Longyou, is the Prime Minister sure enough to take Longyou?"

Seeing Feng Yong like this, Zhuge Liang was a little helpless.

He got up and walked to the map hanging on the back of Shuai's case, clicked on the three places of Xixian, Shangyu, and Jixian, and asked, "You just know that Kaixiao rejected Emperor Guangwu's old affairs according to Longyi, don't you know Guangwu?" What about the emperor's entry into Longyou?"

"What?" Feng Yong was a little dazed.

This time it was Zhuge Liang's turn to "tsk" in dissatisfaction, "Emperor Guangwu was unable to attack Longdi back then. He lost his troops and lost his generals, allowing Kai Xiao to occupy Longyou. It was the sixth year of Jianwu."

"Two years later, that is, the eighth year of Jianwu, the Han Dynasty will attack Lueyang from the mountain road in the future, which is unexpected by Kai Xiao. He is afraid that a large army will follow, so he sent his generals to guard the passes of Longshan Mountain."

"Emperor Guangwu Guo personally led several troops to Longlong, and at the same time recruited Niu Han, the general who guarded the pass. Thirteen generals, 16 counties, and more than 100,000 soldiers all surrendered without a fight. "

"Kai Xiao led his wife to guard the west city."

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang tapped the land of Xixian County to show the key point.

"The order sent Tian Yan and Li Yu to Bao."

Then he knocked on the land of 邽.

"Finally, they sent people to the middle of Sichuan to seek help from Gongsun Shu, and Gongsun Shu sent 5,000 troops to reinforce them."

"Emperor Guangwu each sent tens of thousands of people to order Wu Han and General Zhengnan Cen Peng to besiege the west city, and Geng Yan and Huya general Gai Yan to besiege Shangyu. He thought that he would be able to go down to the city, so he drove back to the east first."

"How could you know that these two cities are extremely strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The army besieged the city for several months and could not go down. When the troops from Shu land came, the Han army was caught off guard, defeated, and left after running out of supplies. So Anding, Beidi, Tianshui, The counties in Longxi are back to be owned by Kai Xiao."

"Guxi county and Shanggu are not going down, so what's the use of guarding the pass? Emperor Guangwu had a great advantage at that time. Not only did he go up the Long from Guanzhong, but even Liangzhou had soldiers and horses coming to help him. Before the second city is conquered, all previous efforts will be wasted."

"What about now? Guanzhong and Liangzhou are owned by the Cao bandits. Not only are they not supported by the great Han, but they need to be carefully guarded against. Now we are not as good as Emperor Guangwu in terms of offense and defense. We are not even as good as Kai Xiao. How dare you learn from us? Kai Xiao, are you looking for death?"

After some words, Feng Yong was dumbfounded.

I thought this is wrong, who wrote the strategy of Longyou for Lao Tzu back then? You just write the second half, but don’t write the prerequisites for the first half, how can you cheat?

"Even if the matter of Emperor Guangwu has been going on for a long time, and your knowledge is incomplete, don't you even know the old story of the Marquis of Xixiang more than ten years ago?"

"who?"

Feng Yong asked even more blankly.

"Ma Chao!" Zhuge Liang said angrily, "Ma Huanqi defeated Xia Houyuan and separatist Longyou, making him dare not go west. Who would have thought that someone in Liangzhou rebelled, and he lost Jicheng inadvertently. Xiahouyuan took the opportunity to go west. Ma Chao was at a loss, so he had to enter Hanzhong and vote for Zhang Lu."

As he said that, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty patted the map vigorously again, emphasizing, "Gu Xicheng, Shangyu, and Jicheng, only with these three can the Han Dynasty gain a firm foothold in Longyou."

"In addition to the land of Hanzhong, it can be regarded as advancing and defending. Even if Cao's bandits come from Guanzhong to Shanglong, the big Han can still have the strength to fight. On the contrary, once Cao's bandits arrive, the big Han will have no grounds to advance and retreat. , the hidden worry of being tired of dealing with it, understand?"

"Understood, understood!"

Feng Yong nodded again and again, then looked towards Ji County in the northwest of Xi County, and asked cautiously, "Then Prime Minister, since Ji City is so important, why didn't you send Old General Wei there, instead let it go?"

"This is not your concern, I have my own arrangements."

Zhuge Liang waved his hand.

Cut, if you don’t say it, don’t say it, there is your future direct disciple, don’t blame me for not reminding you if you lose it by then!

Feng Yong slandered in his heart.

"Now that you understand, do you know what you are going to do now?"

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty asked.

"I know, transport food well."

Feng Tubie was really convinced, so he could only say dejectedly.

"No! It's studying hard! There are so many food and grass officers under you, and you can manage the food and grass with only half of it. You have never touched your hands at all. Do you think I don't know?"

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty scolded angrily, "You and that Zhao Erlang are running horses, walking dogs and hunting in the background every day, I don't know? Are you here for the Northern Expedition or just for fun? Ah!"

"Ah? No... No, we are scouting the terrain..."

Feng Yong still wanted to speak hard, but when he saw the big Han prime minister sneering, he shrank his neck and dared not speak again.

Well, I'm just bored in the back and craving some game.

Seeing his appearance of being greatly shocked, Zhuge Liang was afraid that Feng Yong would lose his temper, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Although the situation in Longyou is very good now, you should not be careless. The grain road is the lifeblood of the Northern Expedition army. You Never take it lightly."

"clear."

"Don't be discouraged, the strategy you and I proposed in Nanzhong back then is actually very good. As long as you can capture these three cities, then cooperate with your advice, that is the best strategy. Back then..."

Zhuge Liang thought about it, and gestured, "You were only eighteen back then, right? It's extremely rare to be able to see this layer. What's missing is just knowledge."

"If you want to increase your knowledge, one is to travel, and the other is to study. The two are indispensable, so I tell you to study hard."

"oh."

Feng Tubie responded, and finally couldn't help but said, "Prime Minister, if these three places are not captured, then Cao's reinforcements have already arrived, so what should we do?"

"Good question." Zhuge Liang nodded approvingly, "That's a bit of a look. Well, since you can think of this, go back and think about what we should do then."

"Uh, Prime Minister..."

Feng Tubie was startled, this is wrong, I am already twenty-one years old, and you still assign me homework?

So he coughed, "The last general wants to discuss something with the prime minister, will it work?"

"What is it?"

"Pretend I never asked that question, okay?"

After hearing this, the big Han prime minister bent down and reached under the case, and at the same time said, "Come here, I'll give you something."

"What does the prime minister want to give me?"

Feng Tubie stretched his neck and poked his head to look, thinking that he told me to finish reading Liutao, so you want to give me another book?

When he saw clearly what the prime minister took out, he yelled in fright, "Prime Minister, I was wrong!"

"Smart words and tricks at a young age, cheating and cheating, I can't beat you to death! Don't run away!"

The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty took out a bamboo whip from under the case, which was usually used to point out the map, and whipped it at Feng Tubie with a whistling sound.

How could Feng Yong dare to stay any longer, shouting "I was wrong", turned around and wanted to run out, the prime minister of the big man quickly took two steps to follow, and with a "snap", a whip hit his unarmored calf , Feng Tubie jumped up in pain.

He didn't dare to stay any longer, he jumped out of the tent, leaving only the big man behind him, shouting and cursing.

Coming out of the Chinese army camp with drooping eyebrows, he only felt a burning pain in his calf, and Feng Yong grinned when he took a step.

If it is said that Zhuge and his wife still had a little distance from him before, then since they got married with Guan Ji, they have completely become elders in front of him.

Gained beauty, lost status...

Alas, it is true that misfortunes and blessings depend on them, and blessings and misfortunes rest on them.

Feng Yong muttered, just as he turned into his camp, Zhao Guang, who had been waiting by the side, sneaked up and asked eagerly, "Brother, how are you? Has the Prime Minister agreed?"

When Feng Yong heard this, he squinted and suddenly wanted to punch this guy's jealous face twice.

Damn, no winks at all!

Can't you see the unlucky look on my face?

It's just that this time I got into the bad luck of the old monster Zhuge. Although Zhao Guang encouraged him, he actually had the same thoughts, so Feng Yong thought about it and let this guy go for now.

"Go, call everyone."

Feng Yong waved his hand.

When Zhao Guang heard it, he thought it was a good thing, so he hurriedly ran to call for someone with a "hey".

After everyone arrived at the handsome tent, the map had already been hung inside, and a sand table was placed in front of it. Feng Yong was standing in front of the sand table, thinking about something.

Feng Yong's commander-in-chief is different from others in one thing, and that is the military council joint staff system.

He knew that he was good at talking and talking, but when it came to actual marching and fighting, he might not be half as capable as Wang Ping and the others, so he often asked them to get together to discuss ideas.

At this time, when everyone saw the arrangement of the tent like this, they knew that General Feng had encountered some kind of problem again.

"Everyone come here."

Feng Yong beckoned, then picked up a bamboo whip, drew a circle on the sand table, and said, "Erlang, you should be most familiar with the area from Jicheng to Jieting, let me tell you about it."

"Promise." Zhao Guang took the bamboo whip from Feng Yong's hand and pointed, "It is about two hundred and fifty miles from Jicheng to Jieting. Not far to the west of Jieting, there is Lueyang City, which is Long The gateway on the east side is also the support of the street pavilion."

"Jieting is the channel of Guanlong Avenue. To the east, you can pass through the middle of the pass, to the west, you can reach Lueyang, the east gate of Longyou, to the southwest, you can pass to Liuting, and you can go directly to Tianshui through Liuting."

"If the Cao bandits come, they must pass through Jieting. Because the long road to the south of Jieting is extremely narrow, it cannot pass through the army. If you take the long road to the north, the road is too tortuous and far away. Only through the pass of Jieting Long Avenue, not only flat, but also the closest, is the best choice."

Feng Yong looked at the crowd, coughed, and asked, "What I want to ask now is, if the Cao bandits have already started to go to Long before the three places of Shangyu and Jicheng in Xixian County, what should we do?"
